Arrest O. Commentators.

Boston, Jan. 22.-For nearly year past
the police Of Boston and several suburban
towns and cities have been much troubled
and puzzled over the workings of gang of
counterfeiters who have been successfully
operating in this vicinity, and who deted
all attempts at capture. Ali the leading
dry goods and fancy goods houses OF this
city have been losers by accepting the spu.
rious coin The matter has finally been
cleared up by Chief Of Police Shelley, Of
Chelsea, and his officers, and last night the
three principals in The business were arrest
ed in that city. AT their residence thous-
ands Of dollars worth OF metal, moulds,
scales and weights were found. In fact, an
entire coun,erfcters' outfit was captured
together with between $500 and $500 in
money and large quantity of stolen goods.
Officer Smith, acting under orders from
Chief Shelley, arrested woman who gave
the name Of Rosa Peronni, in Cheever
Newhall's store, OH Broadway, Chelsea,
last evening, as she YVES in the act OF pass
ing spurious coin Her residence was search
ed and the above plumber found. While
the officers were engaged in the search two
men came into the house, but seeing the
police, fled. They were pursued and cap
tured and gave the names of Gaetano Russo,
aged AZ, and Baldarari Bosco, aged 40. The
woman is 90 years old. Ali are Italians.
They have occupied the house whore the
coin was found only about three months,
but lived for six months previous to that in
Miller Place, eff Wadsworth street, in the
same city. Among the articles found in
the house were two bank books, with
deposits of 50 900, all made within the last
year. The police think these three are
only portion OF an organized gang, and
that they have confederates in Boston and
vicinity. In one room of the house which
the officers searched there was 5000 in sill
YER found scattered about in old cups, to-
bacco pouches, tin cans iand other articles.
Some OF this was good and some bad money.

ALEX CAMBRIA.
SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY %.

TIE SUPREME Court OF Appeals OF Vir-
oipia has lust decided that merchants
licenses in Virginia must be paid Tor in mo-
new. in all cases, before such licenses shall be
issued, and before such business as requires
a license shall be conducted. 1t decides
that when coupons are rendered in payment
they shall be accepted, but only for the pur-
pose of having their genuineness passed
upon By court, and that, in addition, the
amount of the license shall be paid in mo-
new at the same time, before the license shall
be issued. The reason assigned for this de-
cision is the remarkable one that there Is an
improved report or rumor to the effect that
some of the coupons are spurious. VI course
such decision will be reversed by the Su-
premo Court Of the United States, because
it is transparent, vain and foolish attempt
TO eyade both the Constitution and the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court iu respect OF
the impairment of contracts. If there be
any spurious coupons, though no.
body has yet seen one, there are
a thousand fold more spurious ma
tional bank notes and silver dollars,
and the court might just as we'll have de
cided that all bank notes and silver dollars
offered in payment of licenses should only
be received for Identification of their gen.
uineness by a court at some future time, ana
that in the meantime the license must be
paid in gold. The lines of Virginia are
now very hard, but the sole blame lies with
her own people. They are responsible
for their judicial as we'll as for their legisla-
tive and executive officers, and if they fail
to select the proper men it is their own
fault. Elective officers in free countries are
always fair representatives of the people
who elect them. But what Il fall has there
been iu the character of such officers in Vir-
ginia during comparatively recent years!

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, somewhat pre-
JUDGED against the American people as
well as aving created prejudice against
him because OF Ill-timed criticism upon
Irish-Americans is one Of the commission
ers to fix up fishery treaty between the
United States and Great Britain. But if
the Irish-Americans are wise they will do
nothing to show their disrespect for an
emissary of the British government who
has to deal with an international question
directly affecting the interests OF the Unit
ed States and Great Britain. The course he
has seen fit to pursue in relation to the
Irish people has nothing to do with the
fisheries question and on this question r.
ish-Americans should beAmerican citizens
and nothing else. Chamberlain has shown
extremely bad taste in his criticism. It
Is easy for the Irish people to give him
lesson in courtesy. The Irish cause will
be benefited by circumspect silence much
more than by returning the insult This
is the polite course for Irishmen and the
proper one for American citizens.
